Yep, I thought about a similar thing, but I find it rather complex.
In addition, it opens the door to too many dirty tricks (unless we
keep it private to Autoconf?). We have to think about autoupdate
too. The issue is deep. And it is not clear that it is actually
Autoconf that should decide to provide the AU definition of AM macros,
maybe Automake should do that.
I really don't know. But I confess I no longer want to explore any
new technology in Autoconf, let's go for this (*&£$ snapshot *now*.
I propose that tonight is the end of it. I'm still waiting for your
approval/rejection of the patch for GROSS_HACK (but properly renamed),
and the patch that disables the AU::AM_ macros, and then, let's do
it. I don't have a write access to alpha, could someone put the
snapshot there then?
